Many Dawns Have Broken, and More Will Come
Those who watched the dawns of old are gone; we now behold this dawn. And those who will watch the dawns to come will come in their turn.
Do I know that this morning given to me is the one morning countless others longed for but could not have?
📝Reflection
The people of old who watched the same dawn are all gone; now I watch this dawn. Someday I too will depart, and another will meet the morning in this place. In this calm succession the poet quietly tells of life's finitude. It is not merely a sad tale. Rather it shows how precious this morning I now see truly is. A morning those before me can no longer see, a morning the unborn await — today, set between them, is the single gift countless others longed for.

Treat today as 'the one day countless others longed for but could not have,' and do one good thing you were deferring, before it ends.
This verse is read as universal humanistic wisdom, not religion — no faith is promoted, and the reflection is 100% original ONGO content.
